For iPhone
The “native” power bank for Apple smartphones is MagSafe batteries. These are modern devices that support reverse charging. Their only disadvantage is their high cost. Therefore, many iPhone owners prefer Chinese analogues.
- OISLE 4225mAh. This is essentially an analogue of the MagSafe Battery Pack. The device is not cheap (about 5 thousand rubles), but worthy. The main advantage is its compactness: the weight is only 80 g, and the dimensions are 59 x 77 x 10.5 mm. There is also a version suitable for the iPhone 11, and it will cost almost half the price.
- Baseus 10000 mAh is a simple but functional device. With it you can charge any iPhone model - with or without a wire. Plus, the power bank from Baseus has three connectors at once, which allows you to use the device if you need to charge your phone, headphones, or smartwatch at the same time. The only negative is the rather heavy weight, 218 g.
- Baseus Magnetic Wireless Power Bank is another Chinese external battery with 10,000 mAh capacity. They can also charge any iPhone model. But it is most suitable for the iPhone 12, as it is equipped with magnets that can be attached to the smartphone body. However, the device has a small drawback: it does not support the MagSafe standard. Maximum power is only 7.5 W.
Attention! In mid-July, Apple began selling an external battery for the iPhone 12. The new product was called MagSafe Battery Pack.

How to use a Power Bank with wireless charging
Before using the device for its intended purpose, it must be fully charged. After the LEDs on the gadget light up, indicating that the container is full, you can connect your phone or tablet.
Instructions for using an external battery with a wireless power transfer module:
- After the power bank is charged, connect the adapter for wireless charging.
- Usually the connection procedure is written in the accompanying documentation. Some models use On/Off buttons to turn this feature on and off. On other models, you will have to hold these buttons for at least five seconds to activate the remote energy transfer technology. On third models, the function is turned on automatically. It all depends on the price category of the device.
- Place the smartphone on it or on the original adapter, which connects to the Power Bank via a USB cable.
- Once the device is charged, the energy transfer will automatically stop.
